Description:

This contemporary YA romance features teen lovers, a teen love triangle and a Virginity Club! Suzy Green used to be one of the coolest nonconformist "almost-Goth" party girls in school. That was before her older sister Rosie died and her family moved state. Not even her best friend would recognize her now. Gone are the Doc Martens and the attitude. All she wants is to be like Rosie - perfect. The new Suzy Green makes straight A's, hangs with the in-crowd at her new school, and dates the hottest guy around. And since all her new friends belong to a virginity club, she joins, too. So what if she's not technically qualified? Nobody in town knows...until Ryan, Suzy's ex, turns up. As the past and present collide, Suzy struggles to find her own place in a world without her sister.

### Review

Chicklish*
*This is a fabulous feel good book, full of humour and engrossing twists. The characters are brilliant, especially Suzy and her best friend from home Maddie, and you quickly feel as if you know them. It was great to see Suzy adapting to her new environment. I loved her honesty - her descriptions of her classmates as Stepford students, the way she admitted to being unable to recognise herself and 'missing the kicks' even when she was desperately trying (and largely managing) to fit in with the new crowd. There were loads of page-turning intrigue and some sad moments, too.**
